At the very moment I stepped off the large bus (blue bird) at the reception and medical center of Lake Butler Correction...

I am a gay male serving time in federal prison, I will be here until the date of March 17, 2019, unless the laws change and I get some relief, or if I get clemency form the President of the United States. Since I do not see the later two items happening in a way that will benefit me, then I am counting on the March 2019 date. Life in a federal prison for a gay man is not as good as ...

A speed trap in a small Midwestern town, circa 1952. That is how I equate the current state of criminal justice in the United States today. The unsuspecting citizen who explores his options in other states and has little or no roots in the area is easy prey forvictimization by the system.

An Almost Love Story When Olivia Martin moved into the PC unit, she could have passed for a woman: ﬁve feet nine, slender, with smooth brown skin and braided black hair, her walk feminine.
